About 'Arab And Me' The Music
Mixture of styles; Influences of Spanish or Moorish music, Pop, Classical and Jazz.

Slow waves made of sticky sensual sound rolling over and over again. A  snapping finger and a few bass drum kicks suggesting a rhythm. A slap bass starts playing followed by a melody on  trombone. 
More instrument follow, each playing just a few simple but slightly changing tunes. 
Piano and acoustic guitar arise from the waves of sound, giving each other space to put in their own, laid back story.

It's not the number of chords played  (only 2 chords in fact) that make this composition outstanding, on the contrary, this restriction makes it even stronger or more impressing: it's the beauty of simplicity. 

I also have to mention Richard Kruis here. He has added some small inspiring piano phrases of a few measures to this composition.
